In 17 years at this house, and 30 years living within 5 miles of here, the mains power has been very reliable. The power company, Weenergies, has lived up to their slogan, "Voted by our shareholders, 'Best in the Nation' at keeping the power on."
For the past sieben days, however, every time the sky gets dark the power goes out. It's out again right now. I have so many UPSs round here that I'm not even sure how many I have. Naturally all of them have dead batteries, and I'll be shocked if more than half of them still work. I guess I've got my money spent for the decade.
It's a good thing that I don't have an electric vehicle. I wonder if we've started to reach the point where electric cars are causing these outages.
